The greatest movie ever!
... View MoreIt's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
... View MoreTrue to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
... View MoreAfter playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
... View MoreYes, I rented this movie after looking at the cover of it, guessing it had something to do with the "Aliens" movies since the alien on the cover looked something like the basic Alien design we all know. Guess what? It wasn't... This has NOTHING to do with the Alien vs. Predator movie. This was far from a B movie.The acting was horrible. The female characters had the acting talent of base porn stars, I swear, and the special effects were outdated-- you would have seen something like this off of that little known game console, Sega CD.Seriously, I enjoy B movies because I can only laugh at them, so if you like B movies like that, by all means, RENT this, but if not, stay clear.
... View MoreNow, hold on a second: I want to make quite clear that I already expected this film to be terrible going into it, and was sitting down for some nice camp value or something. I didn't really expect very much at all from it, except one single, tiny thing: an Alien.It's just a simple request... and this movie completely failed my expectations.To get anywhere near the Alien mythos would be to assume that this is a sequel to Alien Vs Predator and that hybrid thing at the end spawned a race of hybrid things that made terrible flying saucer things then went around hiding in caves protecting ancient Mayan treasures... or maybe this film has absolutely nothing about Aliens at all and is just a Predator/Independence Day/Men in Black rip-off about a bunch of annoying losers who walk around a desert all day being stupid while something that looks kind of like a cross between an action figure and a computer game chases them around.I want to say that this movie is redeemable in that it's honest: it opens on a shot of boobs. It might as well have opened on an opening script that said, "The following is senseless lack of entertainment and should only be approached with a MST3000-ft stick," except it wasn't honest; it promised me Aliens and it didn't give me Aliens! I cannot emphasize this point much better! The case this DVD comes in has an Alien! It's name is Alien 3000! The decoration on the DVD disc has an Alien! Isn't this a good case for false advertising or something? How did the filmmakers possibly, POSSIBLY have been allowed to call this an Alien movie? Except that it's actually called Unseen Evil 2... which means it's a sequel to a completely different thing. The unseen evil is that now I can't rent a movie without wondering if the product I'm getting has any relation at all to the advertising it comes with.About the movie itself, real quick: bad acting terrible directing not scary boring pointless stupid characters really bad effects boring opens with boobs.--PolarisDiB
... View MoreWhen Special Forces are annihilated. When mercenaries are massacred mercilessly. Who would you expect to be the only one who could possibly save the day ... you guessed it, the woman with PMT.A basically fair idea but a poor script with bad editing and 1950's styled B Movies special effects totally spoil the day.Sorry but this film is not worth the cost of the shoe leather to walk across the doormat of our local video store on give-away of the century day.p.s. If you decide to ignore my advice, then try watching the film in monochrome (we started to play it in a player which was on the blink) as this at least made it a little interesting, still totally rubbish but a little interesting.
... View MoreAvoid this movie at all costs. It is so bad that there should be a warning on the label.It looks like they tried to cash in on the "Alien" franchise. The monster on the cover looks a bit like Ridley Scott's 'Alien'. This is where any similarity ends.The dialog is laughable. The special effects are so poorly done that I couldn't believe it. In one part, one soldier gets his head chopped in half. It looked so fake that I had to play it in slow motion. The dummy head: 1.) looked like a uneven melon with a face drawn on (which I suspect it was); and 2.) didn't even have the same hair colour as the actor! I know that these movies are strapped for cash, but come on. They did try to do some CGI with the Alien but it you pay attention you can see that they use the same footage a few times throughout the movie(like when the alien gets shot) and it is almost sad to watch.The editing was so bad that it was actually difficult to understand what was happening. And the 'Special Feature' was almost impossible to watch because you couldn't even understand what the alien was saying most of the time.I really don't expect very much from these B movies (I watch enough of them). Usually I get a kick out of these types of movies; as most of them try to entertain. But Alien 3000 really was unwatchable and unenlightening. Save your money.
